How do I find the best deals?

1. Do your research

During Black Friday, it is tempting to buy items because of the exaggerated savings being advertised, but sometimes these items can be of poor quality with merchants putting them on sale to clear stock.

Check reviews before purchasing, especially for electrical items.

2. Don’t wait until Friday

Black Friday deals can start any time during the week before the event so keep an eye out for details of when and where the discounts will be.

3. Plan ahead

Think about what items you want to buy, and find out if and where you can get them. To make sure you don’t miss the items you’re looking for, set keyword alerts.

4. Keep an eye out for hidden costs

Big savings may be common during Black Friday, but always check for hidden costs, such as shipping, which can reduce the discount.

5. Be quick

Some online deals will sell out in seconds, so be prepared and be quick!

6. Check delivery times

When purchasing Christmas presents online during Black Friday, always double check estimated delivery times so you know they will arrive in time.

7. Be patient

Some parcels may take a little bit longer to arrive than usual due to the huge number of people purchasing items. If you’re shopping in-store during the sales event, be patient with staff who will be dealing with an increased number of shoppers.

8. Stack deals

As well as offering a Black Friday discount retailers may have a code for free shipping or an extra 10% off. Search for these codes on deal sharing websites and forums to see if you can use them in conjunction with the original Black Friday discount to save even more money.

9. Pay securely

If you’re shopping online use a credit card or use PayPal.

10. Question the discount

Retailers sometimes increase the price of an item before a sales event to make the sale look better. Check deal threads where savvy members will share their knowledge of sale prices and RRP’s to ensure you’re getting a good deal.

11. Check the retailer

Some savings will be for lesser-known retailers who may not be Google approved , so always check that you’re purchasing from a safe site. Check forums where people discuss retailers and customer experiences to ensure you don’t get caught out.

Is Black Friday all it’s cracked up to be though?
